Saudi Arabia has threatened to prop up President Mubarak if the White House tries to force a swift change of regime in Egypt. In a testy personal telephone call on January 29, King Abdullah told President Obama not to humiliate Mr Mubarak and warned that he would step in to bankroll Egypt if the US withdrew its aid programme, worth $1.5 billion annually. America’s closest ally in the Gulf made clear that the Egyptian President must be allowed to stay on to oversee the transition towards peaceful democracy and then leave with dignity. “Mubarak and King Abdullah are not just allies, they are close friends, and the King is not about to see his friend cast aside and humiliated,” a senior source in the Saudi capital told The Times.

The Muslim Brotherhood has, understandably, become a popular topic of conversation as many pundits tout the group’s moderation while critics point to its history of extremism, violence and assassination.

In an article published last week, I asserted that the emerging unrest in Egypt and elsewhere in the Middle East has been fomented by an alliance of radical leftists and the Muslim Brotherhood. I also reiterated my longstanding view that radical Islam, while a genuine threat not to be dismissed, has actually been a false flag operation designed to mask Russia and China’s continuing war with their main enemy.

Iran revolution example to follow, says Egyptian scholar London, Feb 10, IRNA – The Islamic revolution in Iran over three decades ago has set an example for others to follow, according to a prominent Egyptian scholar.

“It has had an impact not only on Egypt but all over the Muslim world,” Kamal Helbawi said on the eve of the 32nd anniversary of the 1979 revolution in Iran. “It was a revolution for freedom, a revolution for dignity and for the respect and worship of God,” Helbawi said in an interview with IRNA.

With regard to Egypt, he said the current uprising was by all people, not only Islamists, seeking freedom from 30 years of oppression. Unfortunately there are “no personality like Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.”

“We are with freedom now, until the people are ready to accept Islam,” the scholar and researcher said. “Christians and Muslims have no problem, the only problem is with Mubarak and the regime.”

He cautioned the Egyptian people not to accept Vice-President Omar Suleiman, saying that he was trained in intelligence and was “worse than Mubarak” and they would effectively be “accepting the CIA and Mossad to rule over Egypt.”

“Muburak should not only go but should be put on trial and spend the rest of his life in prison for accepting American hegemony and the destruction of the Egyptian economy and political system,” Helbawi said.

Helbawi previously told IRNA that the attempts to stop the revolution in Egypt will not succeed and expressed doubt that the will of the people would be broken even if the army takes over.

The French journalist Caroline Fourest has published a book-length study of Tariq Ramadan’s sly duplicity, Brother Tariq. Fourest concludes that this much-lionized putative Muslim Martin Luther is actually anything but a reformer: in reality, Ramadan is “remaining scrupulously faithful to the strategy mapped out by his grandfather, a strategy of advance stage by stage” toward the imposition of Islamic law in the West.

Ramadan, she explains, in his public lectures and writings invests words like “law” and “democracy” with subtle and carefully crafted new definitions, permitting him to engage in “an apparently inoffensive discourse while remaining faithful to an eminently Islamist message and without having to lie overtly — at least not in his eyes.” Ramadan, she said, “may have an influence on young Islamists and constitute a factor of incitement that could lead them to join the partisans of violence.”

A strait up Jew hater pedaling in Jew hatred and lies says Glenn Beck has a jewish problem. I agree in a part. Lefty jews keep attacking him even though he is a big supporter of Jews and Israel. Beck regularly features a Rabbi on his show. Oh does the anti semite “Young Turk” is using the anti semites code words when saying Jewish problem, like Marx wrote about? I think that is what he is saying. It is laughable that some one that really hates Jews is accusing Beck of hating jews.

Gee whiz everyone is trying to get into the act. People keep popping out of the woodwork wanting to be spokesmen for the Jews just so they can attack Glenn Beck with false claims of Antisemitism. Most of the attacks come from the hypocriticalMedia Matters who is funded by the famous “spooky dude,” George Soros.

Sometimes the Beck haters enlist Jewish groups, such as the ADL or the Jewish Funds for Justice to spread the Antisemitic myths obviously hoping that because they have Jewish names the charges will stick, but make no mistake about it, neither the ADL or the Jewish Funds for Justice give a “rats arse” for their Jewishness their real priority is advancing their progressive agenda.

But yesterday, the Beck haters went way beyond the pale, they enlisted Cenk Uygur to accuse Glenn Beck of Antisemitism.

UPDATE: I have no problem with libertarians that are not isolationist. The problem I have is promoting a 3rd party because that will ensure the progressives take over. I saw the show and I saw him promoting one. I hope I am wrong and he will elaborate it more on Monday. I agree with beck that exporting democracy to the muslim world is like teaching an ape table manners 😉 But I think he crossed the line. I hope my opinions are more clear now. I am in no way calling Beck Hitler like some. Again I hope I am wrong but I fear I may be right.

I was invited to be the opening speaker at Saturday’s CPAC session. I had accepted but then, to my amazement, I learned that the John Birch Society would be one of many co-sponsors. This takes the big-tent idea many steps too far for me. So, I withdrew. Apparently, others were not so moved. That’s fine. But it wasn’t for me. Bill Buckley and Barry Goldwater, among others, chased the Birchers from the movement decades ago. And they’re not a part of the movement. So, to give them a booth at CPAC was boneheaded.

It is either crazy or anti semitic to call an anti fascist, supporter of Jews, and Israel Hitler. What is funny about it? Bombing England, liquidating the serbs, singling out the Jews to be slaughtered, or some other atrocity? It is not funny. You are digging your self in a deeper hole Charles. Apologize and then go to rehab please.

The more you tax the rich the more the rich hide their money so the revenue decreases. Some one needs to show this theory to Obama. The jihadis want to destroy America. The commie polices are doing it. The Laffer Curve explains that lower the tax rate and lowering the social services makes a country much stronger. So cut the waste in government cut the taxes, so we can prosper and destroy the jihadis. ]
